Don't worry about being OT here, pretty much any games are o.k. why we 
even have people talking about Nintendo games in PC group :)

I wouldn't say good.  I only played 1 or 2 runs of Slay the Spire and 
did not complete it. I didn't find it particularly interesting.  Unlike 
with MTG you don't get to choose your deck from what you have.  You 
start each with a specific set of cards (as if you got a premade deck,) 
and you run across more you can get and oportunities to remove some. 
Also unlike MTG Some cards you start with will be sub-optimal or even 
downright bad and you'll want to remove them so they don't remain in 
your deck clogging up your hand.
